Closed Session Î Randolph Health Ï November 4, 2019
Already convened in closed session, the Board met pursuant to North Carolina General
Statutes Section 143-318.11 for the purpose of discussing competitive healthcare activities by or
on behalf of Randolph Health, which discussion is privileged and confidential pursuant to North
Carolina General Statutes Section 131E-97.3, as is permitted by North Carolina General Statutes
Section 143-318.11(a)(4). Chairman Darrell Frye, Vice-Chairman David Allen, and
Commissioners Kenny Kidd, Maxton McDowell, and Hope Haywood were present. Also present
were County Manager Hal Johnson, Finance Officer Will Massie, County Attorney Ben Morgan,
Associate County Attorney Aimee Scotton, and Clerk to the Board Dana Crisco.
Chairman Frye gave an update on Randolph Health. He said that there have been different
versions of the bill to aid rural hospitals, the Rural Health Care Stabilization Program. Applicants
can apply for a loan of up to $20 million to secure local health care. In the case of Randolph
Health, Randolph County would need to apply for the loan. UNC Hospital must approve the
applicant and recommend approval to the Local Government Commission (LGC). There must
also be a successor hospital. A healthcare system has said they will take another look at Randolph
Health.
The Board was in consensus that a Special Meeting with a Public Hearing be set for November
21, 2019, at 6:00 p.m. to hear the request of Randolph Health to ask Randolph County to apply for
the Rural Health Care Stabilization program for a loan up to $20 million.
